I feel badly for Peng. I'm sure Caroline didn't want to get through like this

^ Agree,still Caroline deserved her win.Sad to see any player on court struggling like Peng did.

32C/89.6F. Not exactly Melbourne temps but hot all the same.

Very humid, too, which makes it even worse.

Says 67% humidity on weather checks I've done here. Granted rarely 32C here but we get 100% often so I've seen worse. I still don't think all the cramping we're seeing last few years is heat related.

Well congrats to Caroline for her windy win. Many times the ball took unexpected lines and turns. Humid and hot conditions too. One of the ends was really tricky to play from. All in all the players did play a decent match under these conditions. Sorry to see Peng suffer so much. According to Eurosport the fysios said Peng suffered from a heatstroke which can result in the way she reacted but not nice to see. Hope she'll recovere soon. Time for a Carlsberg and it better be cold :clap

Glad I did not see this. Very sorry to hear Peng suffered. Matches should be at night to avoid such retirements and when more people can buy tickets.

Congrats to Woz on reaching the final.

they were saying that it was cramps plus something heat related...

these two semis were not inspiring....hopefully the final will be exciting...
